$T ESTIME

Function

To specify the default execution time for jobs that have not yet been selected for execution and the action that JES2 takes if a job exceeds this time.

Syntax


>>-$T--ESTIME--+---------------+--+-----------------+----------->
               '-,--INT--=--nn-'  '-,--NUM--=--nnnn-'   

>--+--------------------+--------------------------------------><
   '-,--OPT--=--+-No--+-'   
                '-Yes-'

Parameters

INT=nn: The interval (1-99), in minutes, at which JES2 repeats the $HASP308 message to the operator.
NUM=nnnn: The default execution time (1-9999), in minutes, after which the $HASP308 message informs the operator that the job has exceeded its estimated execution time.
OPT={No|Yes}: Specifies whether you want to use the JES2 elapsed time monitor feature. If you specify Y, JES2 issues the $HASP308 message as specified on the NUM= and INT= parameters. JES2 does not issue the $HASP308 message if you specify N.

Authority Required

This command requires system authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires control security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Processing Considerations

If changed by this command after a job was submitted, the ESTIME parameters are affected as follows:

the INT= and OPT= values are effected immediately and are reflected during job execution
the NUM= value remains equal to the value when the job was submitted. It takes affect for only newly submitted jobs.

Scope

Single member. This command will be in effect for this member only.

Depending on your installation's setup, however, you might want this command to be applied to all members of the MAS (to ensure a consistent environment across the MAS). If so, you can use the MVS ROUTE *ALL command to issue this command to all active members (if the JES2 command character is the same on all members). See z/OS MVS System Commands, SA38-0666 for more information on using the ROUTE *ALL command.

Messages

The $HASP845 message displays the current values of all the parameters on the ESTIME initialization statement.

Example

 1   $t estime,num=120

  $HASP845 ESTIME NUM=120,INT=10,OPT=YES

JES2 assigns a default execution time of 120 minutes to jobs that have not yet been selected for execution. If a job exceeds 120 minutes, JES2 issues the $HASP308 message every 10 minutes until the job completes execution.
